Weathering : Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface.

Erosion : In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).

Deposition : Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

Answer:

I won’t do it in paragraph form cuz it will look very choppy but here you go:

Weathering is when the weather itself changes something, like when a metal bike gets rusty after sitting outside for a long time, or when a plant grows out of concrete.

Erosion is when something gets eroded away at. Like when something has water or wind is flowing against it so much that it changes shape. This is how canyons are made.

Deposition is when a gas turns into a solid, removing energy and skipping the liquid step (frost forming on car window)
